Explanation:

The relationship between carpenter and wood is that carpenter works with wood. Similarly, we need to find the pair in which the second word is the material that the first word works with.

Option A: Mechanic: Engine - A mechanic works with the engine, but this pair does not match the relationship between the carpenter and the wood. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option B: Cobbler: Leather - A cobbler works with leather, similarly to carpenter works with wood. Hence, this option is the correct answer.

Option C: Cosmonaut: Rockets - A cosmonaut works with rockets, but this pair does not match the relationship between the carpenter and the wood. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: Scientist: Invention - A scientist invents something, but this pair does not match the relationship between the carpenter and the wood. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, i.e., Cobbler: Leather.

**Explanation:**

The relationship between "saree" and "Indian" is that saree is a traditional clothing item that is commonly worn by women in India. Similarly, the relationship between "kimono" and "Japanese" is that kimono is a traditional clothing item that is commonly worn by people in Japan. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

* **Saree : Indian**
- A saree is a traditional clothing item worn by women in India.
- The word "Indian" specifies the origin or association of the saree.

* **Kimono : Japanese**
- A kimono is a traditional clothing item worn by people in Japan.
- The word "Japanese" specifies the origin or association of the kimono.

* Calico : Britisher
- Calico is a type of printed cotton fabric.
- The word "Britisher" does not specify any direct association or relationship to calico.

* Headgear : Arabian
- Headgear refers to various types of hats or head coverings.
- The word "Arabian" does not specify any direct association or relationship to headgear.

* Teed : Scandinavian
- "Teed" does not have a clear meaning or association.
- The word "Scandinavian" does not specify any direct association or relationship to "teed".

In conclusion, the best explanation for the relationship expressed in the original pair "saree : Indian" is the pair "kimono : Japanese" because both saree and kimono are traditional clothing items associated with a specific culture or country.

    Mast
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshita Sarkar answered
Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison between two things that are similar in some way. In this analogy, the first term is "helmet" and its relationship is to the second term, which is "head". Therefore, we need to find a word that has a similar relationship to the word "thimble".

Option A: Finger
- A thimble is a small cap that is worn on the finger to protect it while sewing.
- Similarly, a helmet is a protective cap that is worn on the head to protect it from injury.

Option B: Cap
- A thimble is a small cap that is worn on the finger to protect it while sewing.
- A cap is a type of headgear that is worn on the head, but it does not necessarily provide protection.

Option C: Rifle
- A rifle is a type of gun that is held with both hands.
- There is no clear relationship between a thimble and a rifle.

Option D: Mast
- A mast is a tall vertical pole on a ship that supports the sails.
- There is no clear relationship between a thimble and a mast.

Therefore, the correct option is A) Finger.

Harshad Goyal answered
Understanding the relationship

To find the pair of words related to each other in the same way as the given pair, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "INVESTMENT" and "SOUND" and look for a similar relationship in the answer options.

Analyzing the given pair

The word "INVESTMENT" refers to the act of putting money, time, or resources into something with the expectation of earning a profit or gaining a return. It implies a careful and thoughtful decision-making process.

The word "SOUND" in this context means secure, financially stable, or reliable. It is used to describe an investment that is considered safe and likely to generate positive returns.

Therefore, the relationship between "INVESTMENT" and "SOUND" can be described as follows:
- An investment is considered "SOUND" when it is secure, reliable, and likely to generate positive returns.

Analyzing the answer options

a) Technique : Inept
- The word "Technique" refers to a method or skill used to accomplish a particular task.
- The word "Inept" means lacking skill or competence.
- There is no clear relationship between these words that reflects the relationship between "INVESTMENT" and "SOUND." Therefore, option A is incorrect.

b) Physique : Sturdy
- The word "Physique" refers to the physical structure, appearance, or development of a person's body.
- The word "Sturdy" means strong, robust, or reliable.
- Just as a "SOUND" investment is secure and reliable, a "STURDY" physique refers to a strong and robust physical structure. This relationship mirrors the relationship between "INVESTMENT" and "SOUND." Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

c) Fabric : Silk
- The word "Fabric" refers to a material made through weaving, knitting, or felting.
- The word "Silk" is a specific type of fabric known for its smoothness and lustrous appearance.
- Although there is a relationship between these words related to the material itself, it does not reflect the relationship between "INVESTMENT" and "SOUND." Therefore, option C is incorrect.

d) Intellect : Noble
- The word "Intellect" refers to a person's mental capacity for reasoning, understanding, and learning.
- The word "Noble" means having high moral qualities, showing honor, or being of noble birth.
- There is no direct relationship between these words that mirrors the relationship between "INVESTMENT" and "SOUND." Therefore, option D is incorrect.

Conclusion

After analyzing the given pair and the answer options, we can conclude that the pair "PHYSIQUE : STURDY" is related to each other in the same way as the pair "INVESTMENT : SOUND." The relationship between them is that a "SOUND" investment is secure and reliable, just as a "STURDY" physique refers to a strong and robust physical structure.

  • b)
    Lion : Roar
  • c)
    Scorpion : Dance
  • d)
    Ambrosa : God
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Surbhi Patel answered
Answer:

Relationship: The first word in each pair is an animal and the second word is the sound it makes.

Explanation:
The sound 'croak' is specifically associated with the frog and is a characteristic sound it makes. Similarly, the sound 'dance' is not associated with scorpion or any other animal. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Explanation of Other Options:

a) Elephant: Trumpet - Although elephants do make a trumpet-like sound, it is not the only sound they make. Thus, this option is not the best explanation for the relationship between frog and croak.

b) Lion: Roar - Lions do roar, but not all animals roar and not all animals that make sounds do so in the same way. Thus, this option is not the best explanation for the relationship between frog and croak.

d) Ambrosa: God - This option is completely unrelated to the relationship between frog and croak. Therefore, it is not the best explanation for the relationship between frog and croak.

  • b)
    Stain : Glass
  • c)
    Carve : Knife
  • d)
    Chase : Metal
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nilanjan Unni answered
**Relationship between Embroider and Cloth**

The relationship between "embroider" and "cloth" is that "embroider" is an action performed on "cloth" to enhance its appearance or decorative value. When someone embroiders a piece of cloth, they are adding decorative stitches or patterns to it.

**Options Analysis**

Let's analyze the given options to determine which one best explains a similar relationship:

a) Patch : Quilt
The relationship between "patch" and "quilt" is that a "patch" is a small piece of fabric or material used to repair or cover a hole or tear in a "quilt." This relationship does not match the relationship between "embroider" and "cloth."

b) Stain : Glass
The relationship between "stain" and "glass" is that a "stain" is a discoloration or mark left on "glass" due to the presence of a foreign substance or chemical reaction. This relationship is not similar to the relationship between "embroider" and "cloth."

c) Carve : Knife
The relationship between "carve" and "knife" is that "carve" is an action performed using a "knife" to cut or shape a material, typically wood or stone. This relationship does not match the relationship between "embroider" and "cloth."

d) Chase : Metal
The relationship between "chase" and "metal" is that "chase" is an action performed on "metal" to create decorative designs or patterns by hammering or engraving. This relationship is similar to the relationship between "embroider" and "cloth" as both involve adding decorative elements to a material.

**Conclusion**

The pair that best explains a similar relationship to "embroider : cloth" is "chase : metal." Just as embroidery enhances the appearance of cloth by adding decorative stitches, chasing enhances the appearance of metal by creating decorative designs or patterns.

INCUBATOR : INFANT : :
  • a)
    Cooler : Wine
  • b)
    Archives : Document
  • c)
    Hive : Bee
  • d)
    Greenhouse : Plant
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nilanjan Unni answered
Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this analogy, we need to determine the relationship between the given pair of words - INCUBATOR and INFANT - and then find another pair of words that have the same relationship.

The word "incubator" refers to a device or apparatus that provides a controlled environment for the development of premature or newborn babies. It is used to keep infants warm and protect them from external elements until they are strong enough to survive on their own.

Therefore, the relationship between "incubator" and "infant" is that an incubator is a device used to care for and protect infants.

Now, let's analyze the options:

a) Cooler : Wine - This pair does not have a similar relationship to the given pair. A cooler is used to keep beverages cold, but it does not directly relate to wine specifically.

b) Archives : Document - This pair does not have a similar relationship to the given pair. Archives refer to a collection of historical records or documents, but they do not directly relate to a specific document.

c) Hive : Bee - This pair does not have a similar relationship to the given pair. A hive is a structure where bees live and store honey, but it does not directly relate to a specific bee.

d) Greenhouse : Plant - This pair has a similar relationship to the given pair. A greenhouse is a structure used to provide a controlled environment for the growth of plants. Similarly, an incubator is a structure used to provide a controlled environment for the growth and development of infants. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

In conclusion, the pair of words that are related to each other in the same way as INCUBATOR : INFANT is GREENHOUSE : PLANT.

DILATE : CONTRACT 
  • a)
    Hock : Pawn
  • b)
    Wax : Wane
  • c)
    Contaminate : Spread
  • d)
    Intrude : Disturb
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Debanshi Roy answered
**Explanation:**

The relationship between "dilate" and "contract" is that they are opposite in meaning. When something dilates, it expands or becomes larger, while when something contracts, it becomes smaller or shrinks.

Let's examine the options:

a) Hock : Pawn - This pair does not exhibit the same relationship as "dilate" and "contract". "Hock" and "pawn" may both be related to the concept of pawning something, but they are not opposite in meaning.

b) Wax : Wane - This pair exhibits the same relationship as "dilate" and "contract". "Wax" refers to the process of the moon appearing to grow larger, while "wane" refers to the process of the moon appearing to grow smaller. This is the correct answer.

c) Contaminate : Spread - This pair does not exhibit the same relationship as "dilate" and "contract". "Contaminate" and "spread" are related in the sense that contamination can lead to spreading, but they are not opposite in meaning.

d) Intrude : Disturb - This pair does not exhibit the same relationship as "dilate" and "contract". "Intrude" and "disturb" may both involve unwanted interference, but they are not opposite in meaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B: Wax : Wane.

The manager is to office as curator is to
  • a)
    Patient
  • b)
    Museum
  • c)
    Account
  • d)
    Seed
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Debanshi Roy answered
Analogy Explanation:
The analogy is asking you to find a word that describes the relationship between a curator and a museum, similar to the relationship between a manager and an office.

Managers and Offices:
A manager is a person who is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the activities of a group of employees in an organization. They are in charge of managing resources, making decisions, and ensuring the smooth operation of the office. An office is a physical space where administrative tasks and work-related activities are carried out.

Curators and Museums:
A curator, on the other hand, is a person who is responsible for the care, preservation, and interpretation of objects or artworks in a museum or a collection. They research, acquire, document, and display artifacts, artworks, or historical objects. Curators also organize exhibitions and educational programs for visitors.

The Relationship:
The relationship between a manager and an office is the same as the relationship between a curator and a museum. Just as a manager is responsible for managing the operations and resources of an office, a curator is responsible for managing the artifacts and collections in a museum.

Options:
a) Patient - This option does not have a logical connection with curator and museum. It does not describe the relationship between the two.
b) Museum - This option is the correct answer as it correctly identifies the relationship between a curator and a museum. The curator works in a museum and is responsible for its management.
c) Account - This option does not have a logical connection with curator and museum. It does not describe the relationship between the two.
d) Seed - This option does not have a logical connection with curator and museum. It does not describe the relationship between the two.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b) Museum.

Trailer is to picture as commercial is to
  • a)
    Cargo
  • b)
    Play
  • c)
    Novel
  • d)
    Product
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Trailer is to picture as commercial is to product

The analogy provided in the question is comparing the relationship between a trailer and a picture to the relationship between a commercial and a product. In order to understand this analogy, let's break it down into different parts:

Trailer and Picture:

- A trailer is a short video or preview that provides a glimpse of a movie or TV show.
- It is used to generate interest and excitement among the audience.
- A trailer gives a brief summary of the main plot, characters, and key moments of the movie or TV show.
- It is usually shown before the release of the movie or TV show.
- The purpose of a trailer is to attract viewers and persuade them to watch the full movie or TV show.
- A picture, on the other hand, is a static image that captures a moment or scene from the movie or TV show.
- It can be a promotional poster or a still image from the production.

Commercial and Product:

- A commercial is a short video or advertisement that promotes a specific product or service.
- It is used to create awareness, generate interest, and persuade consumers to purchase the product or service.
- A commercial typically showcases the benefits, features, and uses of the product.
- It may also include testimonials, demonstrations, or comparisons with other products.
- Commercials are commonly aired on television, online platforms, or radio.
- The purpose of a commercial is to attract consumers and persuade them to buy the product or service being advertised.
- A product, in this context, refers to the physical item or service that is being marketed and sold.
- It can be any tangible or intangible item that fulfills a specific need or desire of the consumer.

Analogy:

- Both a trailer and a commercial serve as promotional tools to generate interest and persuade the audience or consumers.
- They provide a glimpse or preview of the main content or product.
- A trailer represents a movie or TV show, while a commercial represents a product.
- Just as a trailer gives a brief summary of the movie or TV show, a commercial highlights the key features and benefits of the product.
- The goal of both a trailer and a commercial is to attract attention and convince the audience or consumers to engage further (watch the full movie or purchase the product).

Therefore, based on the similarities and relationship described above, option D, "Product," is the correct answer to complete the analogy.

WAIL : DISTRESS
  • a)
    Blush : Shame
  • b)
    Manicure : Nail
  • c)
    Laugh: Joke
  • d)
    Mortgage : Possession
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Devika Basak answered
Original Pair: WAIL : DISTRESS

The word "wail" is related to the word "distress" in that it expresses a specific type of distressful emotion or sound. When someone wails, they typically exhibit a high-pitched, mournful cry or howl that is often associated with feelings of pain, sorrow, or anguish. Therefore, the relationship between "wail" and "distress" is one of expression or manifestation.

Explanation:

Option A: Blush : Shame
- Blushing is a physical response that occurs when a person feels embarrassed or ashamed. It is a non-verbal expression of these negative emotions.
- The relationship between "blush" and "shame" is similar to the relationship between "wail" and "distress" in that they both involve the expression or manifestation of negative emotions.

Option B: Manicure : Nail
- A manicure refers to a cosmetic treatment for the hands and fingernails, which includes shaping, filing, and painting the nails.
- The relationship between "manicure" and "nail" is not similar to the relationship between "wail" and "distress" as it does not involve the expression of distress or negative emotions.

Option C: Laugh : Joke
- Laughing is a natural response to something funny or amusing. It is a positive expression of joy or amusement.
- The relationship between "laugh" and "joke" is not similar to the relationship between "wail" and "distress" as it does not involve the expression of distress or negative emotions.

Option D: Mortgage : Possession
- A mortgage is a legal agreement in which a person borrows money to buy property, and the property serves as collateral for the loan.
- The relationship between "mortgage" and "possession" is not similar to the relationship between "wail" and "distress" as it does not involve the expression of distress or negative emotions.

Conclusion:

Among the given options, option A (Blush : Shame) is the pair that best explains a relationship similar to the one expressed in the original pair (Wail : Distress). Both "wail" and "blush" involve the expression or manifestation of negative emotions (distress or shame) through physical or non-verbal means.

Bibek Verma answered
Identifying the Odd Word
In this exercise, we are tasked with finding the word that is different from the others in the list provided. The words are:
  • Unique
  • Beautiful
  • Rare
  • Exceptional


Common Themes Among the Words
Three of the words—Unique, Rare, and Exceptional—share a common theme:
  • Uniqueness: All imply a sense of distinctiveness or something that stands out.
  • Value: They convey a notion of specialness, suggesting that the item or quality is not commonly found.
  • Positive Attributes: These words generally carry positive connotations, often associated with admiration or rarity.


Why "Beautiful" is Different
The word "Beautiful" stands apart for several reasons:
  • Focus on Aesthetics: "Beautiful" primarily refers to aesthetic appeal, emphasizing physical appearance or artistic quality.
  • Subjective Interpretation: Beauty is highly subjective and can vary from person to person, unlike the other three words, which are more objective in nature.
  • General Quality: While Unique, Rare, and Exceptional denote something that is not only attractive but also uncommon or extraordinary, "Beautiful" does not inherently suggest rarity.


Conclusion
Thus, "Beautiful" is the word that is different from the rest, as it emphasizes aesthetic qualities rather than uniqueness or rarity, making it the odd one out.

Identifying the Odd One Out
In this exercise, we need to analyze the given words to determine which one does not belong with the others. The words provided are:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Theology
- Zoology
Comparison of Words
Let's break down the characteristics of each word:
  • Biology: The study of living organisms, encompassing various aspects of life.
  • Chemistry: The branch of science that studies the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter.
  • Theology: The study of the nature of the divine, religious beliefs, and the practice of religion.
  • Zoology: The study of animals and their behavior, physiology, and classification.

Common Theme Among Three Words
The first three words—Biology, Chemistry, and Zoology—are all branches of natural sciences. They focus on empirical studies of the natural world:
  • Biology: Life sciences.
  • Chemistry: Physical sciences.
  • Zoology: A subset of biology focusing specifically on animals.

The Outlier: Theology
The word Theology stands apart from the others because:
  • Focus: Theology deals with the study of religious beliefs and the divine, rather than empirical scientific study.
  • Scientific Basis: Unlike the other three, which are grounded in scientific methodology, theology is based on faith and philosophical inquiry.

Conclusion
Thus, Theology is the word that differs from the rest, making option 'C' the correct answer.

Chatter is to talk as scurry is to
  • a)
    Move
  • b)
    Drowse
  • c)
    Walk
  • d)
    Sing
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Chatter is to talk as scurry is to move

Explanation:

When we hear the word "chatter," we immediately associate it with the action of talking. Similarly, when we hear the word "scurry," we can associate it with the action of moving. Let's understand this analogy in detail:

Chatter:
- Chatter refers to a rapid, continuous, and often meaningless or trivial talk.
- It is characterized by a lively and animated exchange of words between individuals.
- Chatter can be heard in a social gathering, among friends, or during a conversation.

Talk:
- Talk refers to the action of communicating using words.
- It involves expressing thoughts, ideas, information, or emotions through spoken language.
- Talking can be formal or informal, and it occurs in various situations like discussions, conversations, presentations, etc.

Scurry:
- Scurry refers to the action of moving quickly with short, hurried steps.
- It often implies a sense of urgency or busyness.
- Animals like mice, squirrels, or insects scurry when they move rapidly in a jerky manner.

Move:
- Move refers to changing position or transferring from one place to another.
- It involves physical displacement or locomotion.
- Moving can be done by walking, running, crawling, swimming, or any other form of bodily locomotion.

Analogy:
- In the given analogy, "chatter" is related to "talk" because "chatter" is a specific type of talk that is rapid, lively, and often trivial.
- Similarly, "scurry" is related to "move" because "scurry" is a specific type of movement that is quick, hurried, and often associated with small animals or insects.

Therefore, the correct option is A) Move, as it best represents the relationship between "scurry" and "move" in the same way "chatter" is related to "talk."

Similarly, when we consider the relationship between "cash" and the given options, we need to find the option that represents a specific container or place where cash is stored or safeguarded.

Let's analyze the given options:
a) Account: An account is a record or statement of financial transactions, but it does not represent a physical place or container where cash is stored.
b) Mint: A mint is a facility where coins are produced, but it does not represent a specific container or place where cash is stored.
c) Exchequer: The exchequer refers to a treasury or financial department, but it does not represent a specific container or place where cash is stored.

Correct Option:
d) Vault: A vault is a secure room or compartment used for storing valuable items, including cash. It represents a specific container or place where cash is stored or safeguarded, similar to how a chest is used for storing treasure.

Therefore, the correct option in this analogy is "vault" (option D).

  • a)

  • b)
    Leash: Dog
  • c)
    Tail: Kite
  • d)
    Ring: Finger
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The pair "handcuffs : prisoner" is a relationship where handcuffs are an instrument used to restrain or secure a prisoner. Handcuffs are typically used by law enforcement to prevent a prisoner from escaping or causing harm to others.

Let's analyze the given options:

a) Shoes : Feet
There is a relationship between shoes and feet as shoes are worn on feet to protect them and provide comfort. However, this relationship is not similar to the relationship between handcuffs and a prisoner.

b) Leash : Dog
A leash is used to restrain or control a dog, similar to how handcuffs are used to restrain a prisoner. This relationship is parallel to the relationship between handcuffs and a prisoner. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

c) Tail : Kite
There is a relationship between a tail and a kite as a tail is attached to a kite for stability and balance. However, this relationship is not similar to the relationship between handcuffs and a prisoner.

d) Ring : Finger
There is a relationship between a ring and a finger as a ring is worn on a finger as an ornament or symbol of engagement/marriage. However, this relationship is not similar to the relationship between handcuffs and a prisoner.

Conclusion:

After analyzing the given options, we can conclude that the pair "leash : dog" is related to each other in the same way as the pair "handcuffs : prisoner". Both pairs involve one item used to restrain or control another item.
